The Giants have won two in a row after an 0-6 start. Despite the team’s poor beginning, the Giants still have designs on the NFC East. Nicks will be a large part of the team’s effort whether or not the turnaround occurs.

The Giants would also be well served to incorporate Reuben Randle into the offense more each week from this point forward. When Hicks leaves Randle can make a smooth transition into the spot opposite Victor Cruz.

Another option is the NFL draft. The Giants could try to replace Hicks with a high draft selection. The team currently holds a Top 5 pick, but if they continue to win then targets such as Clemson’s Sammy Watkins and Texas A&M’s Mike Evans become more realistic.

The Giants could always wait until the second round and potentially draft targets such as Oregon State’s Brandin Cooks, Colorado’s Paul Richardson, Rutgers’ Brandon Coleman or LSU’s Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry.
